Vatican reveals cause of Pope Francis' death: He suffered a stroke

Pope Francis has died after suffering a stroke, the Vatican said in a statement. The news came about 12 hours after the first announcement of the death of the pontiff, who had been battling serious health problems for years.

Pope Francis suffered from chronic lung disease, which worsened significantly in the last years of his life. In February of this year, he was urgently admitted to the Gemelli hospital for a respiratory crisis that turned into double pneumonia. After a difficult period in intensive care, his condition stabilized, but medical assistance could not save him from the fatal stroke that took his life.

Pope Francis, who served as head of the Catholic Church for more than a decade, will be remembered for his profound influence in efforts to bring about change in the Catholic Church and global society.
